AI Enthusiasts - Winter Hackathon

​ ❄️ Mid-Winter AI Hackathon ❄️

​Let's turn the cold, crappy weather from a bug to a feature , with a mid-winter gathering for AI enthusiasts who would rather create than hibernate.

​

​What to Expect

• ​A surprise creative challenge revealed at the start—no prep, no spoilers, just adaptability

• ​A full weekend of hacking, experimenting, prototyping, and “wait… that actually works?”

• ​Freedom to explore any AI stack: local LLMs, cloud models, agents, pipelines, RAGs, generative media, hardware hacks, or weird hybrids

• ​A GPU-heated space to escape the winter misery and turn it into raw creative energy

• ​A collaborative, low-ego environment—bring ideas, curiosity, half-finished projects, or just vibes

• ​Doors open Saturday at 12:00, we code until ~22:00, then pick up again Sunday at 12:00, and present around 19:00.

​

​What to Bring 

• ​Your laptop, charger, and whatever cursed setup you normally swear is “almost production-ready”

• ​ANY AI tools, APIs, models, datasets, or hardware you want to experiment with

• ​Warm clothes for the journey there—inside, it’s all heat and neurons firing

• ​Cash for caffeine.  There's no participation fee, so please buy some drinks onsite, to thank c-base for hosting us.

​

​Who This Is For
